So does Iron Priests becoming HQs kill off Wolfy Superfriends?

Where'd you see they moved to HQ?

Dataslate in the video:

That's the HQ symbol, not Elites.

**Bottle**

Are the Sons Of Horus a white dwarf regiment of renown? The paint job looks like a super clean modern Eavy metal job...

**Wulfson_40K**

So to clarify a few things now that you've all seen the pics.

- Krom is released at the same time as Ulrik and the Iron Priest, all of them at 25€. That picture is from the same WD.

- The new Iron Priest profile can be used at the same time as the old version from the Codex according to the WD.

**Kanluwen**

They should have named him something different, I feel.

What's the US price?

Looks like the IP got a bonus wound, +1WS, and +1LD, well deserved. point boost up to 75 isnt bad, especially with 5pt for the tempest hammer. So if that rumor is correct, 130pt for a 3 wound +2 armor dude with a helfrost hammer. 20pt for the pistol is a bit steep for me though. Sure, its a sweet ass pistol, but Ill stick with a bolt pistol on my IP. Seems like this one is a better bargain for your buck, especially with the tempest hammer. Chance to remove from play? Hell yes!

**MasterSlowPoke**

Where does it say you can use both profiles?

Yeah... that seems iffy to me. They've never allowed a new dataslate to be used with the old version, otherwise I'd be rocking the Escalation version of the Transcendant C'tan as a GMC.

Don't remember the US price but 25€ is the standard price for SM characters (Librarian, clampack Commander...) so I suppose it's the same in the US.

Regarding the "both profile" thing, it's on the page before the profile in the WD.

Do you have a picture of that?

**Matthew**

Are the profiles from CoTW the new official ones?

**Oguhmek**

"...nemesis de Krom"?

Would that be Grukk Face Rippa?

Finally a Start Collecting Orks set?

One may hope...

Nope, but at worst you'll be able to verify it yourself in only a few days so I don't think it's much of an issue.

So champions of fenris with all iron priests?

This would be awesome and fluffy with the Ironwolves or alongside the Spear of Russ formation.

This has been up since Saturday on the BL site. You can't download it yet, only preorder. Download unlocks Saturday.

**Warhams-77**

It is not the Wulfen Edition? I will have a look.

**Requizen**

Nothing like that for Daemons? Blah, I'm not buying a full book for a couple relics.

**Warhams-77**

There is no other Codex:SW than the Wulfen Edition on the Black Library website...

And unlike the GW email, the Wulfen description is not talking about 42 (quote) fully updated unit datasheets...

From the frozen world of Fenris, the Space Wolves sail out across the Sea of Stars, seeking enemies to vanquish and worlds to save. Proud and noble savages, the Space Wolves eschew the teachings of the Codex Astartes in favour of the traditions laid down by their Primarch Leman Russ - their armies filled with giant wolves, lone heroes and skyborne longships. For ten millennia it has been so, the Space Wolves valuing honour, courage and skill in battle above all else.

Codex: Space Wolves: Wulfen Edition is your complete guide to the armies of the Space Wolves. Inside you will find the ancient origins and glorious history of this First Founding Chapter, their frozen home world of Fenris, and their unique weapons of war, plus all the additional datasheets, formations, detachments and rules from 'Curse of the Wulfen'.

This codex contains:

42 datasheets covering every model in the Space Wolves range, including the ferocious Wulfen
14 formation datasheets providing you with new ways to organise your models
The Wolf Claw Strike Force detachment, a dynamic and customisable way to turn your collection into an army
All the special rules and wargear rules for the Sons of Fenris

Complete overhaul, or not? Come on, GW...

**casvalremdeikun**

That Start Collecting Bundle should have had an actual character in it. The SM Commander is looking really dull compared to newer kits. Or it should have included a SW Upgrade Kit.

**H.B.M.C.**

The SM Commander is one of the most kit-bash-able kits around. I'm glad they put that in rather than a clampack warrior.

Good spot! Oooooooh my excitement levels just got ratcheted up a few levels...

**Wolf Lord Balrog**

I suppose a Space Wolves 'Start Collecting' box is a good thing in general, but no use to me. I got 3 of the Space Wolves half of the Stormclaw box on top of what I had already, and all the Thunderwolves I want. I need more Rhinos/Razorbacks/Predators and Drop Pods.

I am particularly disappointed about no changes to either Wolf Scouts or SW Dreads. That's just a big-ole middle finger from GW.

**Bi'ios**

I was not planning on starting anything new for awhile, since my backlog is huge right now (a necron army, and the last few models in my 30k word bearers army) but I think I might pick up one of the SW boxes. I have a force for all the other non-codex chapters, so I may as well round that out with the missing one.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I also don't think they've ever updated a profile that was already in an existing codex without just replacing the codex?

It seems like they're treading new ground with the IP, maybe they don't want to give people the impression that codex entries are going to start being invalidated unless you keep up to date with all the latest.

Wulfen Painting tutorial is up for those of you that are interested. I've created a thread in the P&M tutorial section as well for convenience. From the video, I can appreciate why they put 40mm bases on these. They're almost as big as Gal Vorbak

There was a period before the 6th Ed Daemons Codex where Flamers of Tzeentch got an updated Profile in WD a few months before hand.

Yeah but the digital codex on Black library may have those updates in them but we won't know till saturday.

Honestly I'm betting that GW learned their lesson with the Tau codex/campaign release and are going to throw out a hard copy of it in two weeks to a month.

Does this mean these are coming as a stand alone plastic kit?

If not for the "Eye of Horus" shoulder pad and a couple of the heads/torsos/arms, I would have said "yes, yes it does". I hope they do come out with a standalone kit, and they're advertising FW upgrades at the same time... Too early to get our hopes up I guess, but god those Calth models are so nice, I'd buy dozens of them!

So a "how not to paint Wulfen" video? lol

That girl tries too hard to be like Duncan

What's wrong with that paint scheme? Looks perfectly fine imo. Also filling Duncan's shoes isn't easy, I think she's doing a good job of it and she'll find her own style eventually. I heard some people say she was doing painting streams before working at GW, and apparently doing a good job at it?

**lonewolf81**

is there a chance that we may see changes to scouts or dreadnoughts in the "new" digital codex?? how could they skip the chance of bringing the up to date with the space marines and dark angels for fook shake
